Chapter 67 Dependence on each other

Time slowly slipped away, accompanied by the aging of my father, hunchback, crutches, and illness...... Ten years have passed quietly.

This year, Shi Chen is forty-two and Shi Qiong is thirty-nine.

I have spent half my life holding hands with each other, and there is no gap between each other, and all my emotions and personalities are harmonious.

Even though the years are fluctuating and time is passing, Shi Chen is still accommodating to her as always, gentle as water. Arjun is also well-behaved and sensible, and does not cause him any trouble.

The father and mother looked at the two children and put their hearts at ease. Although they gave birth to a pair of brothers and sisters, and a pair of partners, and had no children in their lives, the love between them is better than countless in the world.

Now that the second elder is already old, the two of them have long been unable to get out of bed, and when they felt that Shouyuan was approaching, they called the Shichen brothers and sisters to their side.

On this day, the Shi Chen brothers and sisters knelt beside the bed, holding the hands of the second elder, and their eyes began to moisten.

Dad said weakly: "The happiest thing in our lives is to have you two brothers and sisters." The sky has eyes, your brothers and sisters are as gentle as jade, and they have never been naughty since they were children, which saves us a lot of heart. Even if you fall in love, your brother doesn't marry, your sister doesn't marry, and you snuggle up to each other for life, we don't object. After all, you are the treasure of your father, and when your father and mother are gone, don't be sad, everyone will die, there is nothing to be sad about. Take care of yourself......"

After my father finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and walked the last step of his life with his mother.

The Shi Chen brothers and sisters couldn't help but start crying, especially Shi Qiong, who held her father's hand tightly and sobbed desperately.

Shi Chen is almost there, it's not the first time that he has experienced the death of his father, these are all dreams. However, the tears also slipped silently with Shi Qiong's cry, it would be nice if the father and mother outside the dream were so stable and old, but they died at the hands of the evil king.

After crying for a long time, he and Shi Qiong buried the bodies of his father and mother in the cemetery in the village, and set up a monument for the second elder.

The Shichen brothers and sisters worshiped deeply, and the two of them held this funeral.

"Dad, mother, go all the way. The child will cook you paper, soju, and your two elders' favorite dishes. Shi Qiong cried, wearing linen and filial piety, and her eyes were swollen.

"Condolences, Arjun. My father and mother walked peacefully and did not suffer much, which is also our blessing. Shi Chen persuaded on the side.

Tightly hugged Shi Qiong, wiped away the tears that were still flowing, and the two returned home.

Shi Chen has reached the age of not being confused, and he has a lot of feelings in this mortal world. People will eventually be born, old, sick and die, and they cannot escape the cycle of the world. Just as a flash in the pan, a flash of fireflies is as fleeting and desolate as a moment.

The funeral of his father and mother has passed, and Shi Chen and Shi Qiong have entered the life of a normal male farmer and a female weaver.

Shi Chen fulfilled Shi Qiong's promise when he left outside the dream, and spoiled Shi Qiong for half her life in this dream, without letting her have a trace of worry or sorrow. Shi Qiong, who is close to the age of confusion, still has no wrinkles on her face, and she is still as delicate as she was back then.

Looking at the goddess of immortality in front of him, on the other hand, he is really what a forty-year-old man should look like, a face that has experienced the vicissitudes of the world.

It is often said that the face is born from the heart. The vicissitudes written on Shi Chen's face were the deep cracks in the Dao Heart, which were born from this.

Day after day, I spoil her like this. Shi Chen didn't have any boredom except that he felt that the years had slipped away too quickly.

Sometimes when she got tired, he took her to see the rain and walked through the rain. Sometimes she was tired, and the two of them snuggled up to the bridge in the village as they had done when they were children, and the two of them leaned on until late at night.

In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

This year, Shi Chen was fifty-two and Shi Qiong was forty-nine.

The days were still uneventful, but the furrows on Shi Chen's face were getting heavier and heavier, and Shi Qiong's face began to be gradually covered with wrinkles.

Shi Qiong knew that his brother was an immortal, he would not grow old, and he would leave after accompanying him through his life. But my brother is still with his appearance, and as he gets older, he gradually grows into ravines.

"Husband, I'm old, if you don't want to accompany me anymore, you can leave, anyway, this is just a big dream. What you owe me in another plane has already been paid off in this life. Shi Qiong said softly in an already old voice.

Shi Chen turned his head and looked at her quietly in the guest room. His expression was low for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Silly girl, I not only owe you a human wedding and a lifetime of companionship, I owe you a promise of a true heart and a life, even if I accompany you through this life, I can't ......pay it off."

"Okay, thank you......" Shi Qiong smiled with relief, knowing that Shi Chen was a person who valued affection. Back in another time and space, how happy that Shi Qiong was. Presumably, even if she doesn't get a response from her brother, she won't be disappointed at all, because the Eternal Dao Heart will support her to smile forever and go on happily.

Shi Chen looked at Arjun, who was no longer Chu Chu moving, held her hand tightly, and approached gently as she did when she was nineteen, and kissed her affectionately.

Shi Qiong is getting older, and after weaving cloth for so many years, her eyes have already been a little spent. Shi Chen lit the oil lamp on one side and leaned against her side to illuminate her vision.

Shi Qiong was weaving, her eyes were a little moist, she stopped what she was doing, and gently held her brother's hand. He didn't speak, but he had a soft smile on his face.

"Hurry up and finish weaving, don't weave anymore. We are not short of money, whatever you want to wear, I will buy it for you. Shi Chen instructed.

"My mother has been weaving cloth all my life, and I want to be like my mother. Brother, fortunately, you lit the lamp for me in this life. Shi Qiong said softly.

When Shi Chen heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. Because this life is different from outside the dream, Shi Qiong outside the dream really loves herself, is willing to give everything to love, and has no regrets and so on. In this life, he forced Shi Qiong not to marry, and he was a little ashamed.

"That'...... My brother stopped you from marrying in the first place...... Have you ever resented your brother?" Shi Chen asked suddenly.

"No, it should be fortunate that I didn't get married, because in this world except for you, no one is willing to be born to treat me as if they owe me everything, even if there is, then I will definitely not be able to meet this cheap life, hehehe......" Shi Qiong said with a smile, the overlapping wrinkles at the corners of his eyes outlined his sincerity.

"That's good, that's good......" Shi Chen whispered, his heart was finally steady. This dream is just like the real world outside.

If Shi Qiong was unwilling in this life and forced her, then her Dao heart would not be repaired in any way, but would become deeper and deeper. But fortunately, she is the same as Arjun outside her dreams, she dares to love and hate, and she dares to take her heart to each other.

Shi Chen felt that the crack in his Dao heart had been repaired a lot, at least compared to what he thought when he first entered the dream more than fifty years ago.
